Where that falls down is if the leader changes between elections. It’s all very well saying that people elect a local rep, and the leader of the party with the most seats becomes PM, but most people regard the […]

I found it on youtube. I didn’t recognise the music, and Shazam was NFU, sorry.

if you can persuade him you support either Swindon or Glentoran, you may be able to swing a discount.

Could be worse, it might have been a DUPer!.
The only pol I can remember knocking my door where I live in Belfast was the People Before Profit candidate for the last assembly elections. The rest of the main […]

I’m a big fan of Neil’s since I saw him play to about 50 people in Belfast’s Empire Music Hall about 3 weeks before he had his first hit. Each album has at least one top class song any other writer would give […]

That house looks like it’d be a bugger to heat, what with all those draughts.

Mine must be ‘A Wizard, A True Star’ by Todd Rundgren. About 1975 or so Johnnie Walker played ‘I Saw The Light’ by TR quite often. Being enamoured of the track, and belonging to Dougie Knight’s Record Library in […]

When I took up drumming again after a long layoff, I decided to get some earplugs as I’d always suffered from ringing ears for a period after playing. I bought the previous version of these:

They attenuate the […]

Also, to feed your new music need, you could try the Spotify ‘Discover Weekly’ playlist which refreshes every Monday. I’ve found some really good stuff of which I was unaware using this playlist. It can be […]

Is it just me, or is the video in the OP synced to the audio from another performance? I was watching the drummer and he wasn’t playing what was on the audio track.

He wouldn’t get too many church youth club bookings that’s for sure.

or perhaps Petesy Burns’ Arse Soul?

I sort of see your point re Van, but the guy has more money than God, and so doesn’t need to ‘earn a living’. My understanding of him is he approaches his job in the same way as the old blues/jazz guys, and so […]

Am I right in thinking the original third member that they sacked, with a £1,000,000 payoff, was the only one to come out the other end with any dough?

I think you may have struck the n on the h. As far as I can tell, most MPs haven’t worked in a ‘proper’ job in their lives. By proper, I mean a job where you have to apply, sit an interview, perhaps have to pass […]

I only discovered this last year, and it’s probably my favourite xmas song, along with Macca, the Lennons, Greg Lake:

There was a great interview with Paul on some show or other where he told the story of how, just before the first take of My Love, Henry came up to him and told him he was going to change the solo that had been […]

Great reviews; so far i have only committed to the RRS double (‘original’) vinyl set.
One note, it’s Henry, not Hugh, McCullough.

McAloon, McAloon, Smith, Conti

IMO, Lizzy needs at least one Irish guitarist to be classic. So either Eric or Gary.
